A man has been jailed for a total of 38 months after pleading guilty to dealing cocaine in Suffolk.

26 year-old Denis Lleshi, of Thornbury Road, Isleworth, west London, also admitted to possessing false identity documents, possessing criminal property and driving without valid insurance and without a valid licence.

Lleshi was stopped by members of Suffolk Police’s Sentinel team in Exning on 20th April.

Officers then found information on a mobile phone in his car which led officers to his address, where they found cocaine, money and false ID.

Lleshi pleaded guilty at Ipswich Crown Court on 25th May and he was sentenced earlier this week.

He was also ordered to pay £228 to victim support.

PC Harry Tully, of the Sentinel West team, said: “The sentence handed out by the courts highlights that strong action will be taken against those who distribute drugs and impact our local communities.

"We will continue to work to disrupt and deter these people from operating in our county."
